Suede Blonde: What It is and Why It Looks Softer Than Bright Blonde

STEPS

Before

Start by toning the midlengths with Formula A (this is what gives Johnny’s colors so much depth). Use a double-pronged detangling comb to comb through and blend. Rinse, and blow-dry.

Ask your client to part their hair naturally. This is where you’ll create the money piece. Working in diagonal back sections around the face, backcomb and apply Formula B to create “pops” of color.

Continue backcombing around the head, creating pops of color in diagonal back sections. Foil pieces where you want to see more brightness, or on sections that have color buildup. Mirror both sides, finishing in the back.

Starting in the back (the last section), use a diffuser to add heat. Using a diffuser will give you more control and allow the color to process evenly. After a few minutes, check the foils, leave out any ends that have already reached your desired lift, spray the ends with water and re-apply heat where necessary. For this process, Johnny was aiming for “baby banana” yellow—not quite yellow and not quite white.

At the bowl, remove the foils. Lightly rinse, making sure NOT to remove any backcombing or knots yet and smudge the bleach until the line is diffused. Rinse, starting in the back and working your way to the front. Shampoo using L’Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Absolut Repair Lipidium Shampoo, then apply Serie Expert Absolut Repair Masque. Massage in with your fingertips. Do not rinse.

Using a Tangle Teezer, comb out the backcombed pieces, working from the bottom to the top. Rinse, towel-dry, then comb smooth. Apply L’Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil, and blow-dry.

Apply global highlights using Formula B, lifting to “baby banana” yellow once more. Rinse.

Gloss using Formula C at the roots, then Formula D all over. Rinse, then mix 1 cap of L’Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Powermix Force with 1 cap of Powermix Base. Apply from midlengths to ends, and process for five minutes. Rinse, blow-dry and style!
